“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation” - Bobby / Robert F. Kennedy

Video Notes:
The following is a short visual documentary on Robert F. Kennedy and the speech he first delivered to the National Union of South African Students at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on June 6th, 1966. After his assassination during his 1968 presidential bid, his brother, senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy delivered the same speech at his brother's funeral in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, on June 8th, 1968.
Thanks for watching, happy creating and innovating! 🔥 #rfk #kennedy

What made the Kennedys such great leaders, is they never pretended they could solve all the issues. They always inspired the people to take control of their own lives and ask themselves what they could do. They were forging a nation, and world, of people who thought for themselves and helped others. Such losses in such tragic circumstances. May God rest their beautiful souls.

They did change it. The 1964 Civil Rights Act destroyed apartheid laws in the south despite violent Democrat objections. I saw schools, colleges and businesses suddenly opened to Black citizens formerly impossible despite all the previous laws failing to accomplish it before. Eg, Previously there were no schools or overcrowded ones with second hand books and few could afford to go. Afterwards for the first time Black kids could go to school without going far from home. To a people mostly involved in domestic or farm labor this was life changing. I tutorrd kids sttaight out of 300 hundred years of apartheid poverty. They were bright as pennies. Eager to learn. Happy to hear they had a college they could go to in their town previously closed to them. It is wicked to tell a child he or she can not learn or do math because of their skin color.

I have listened to all 3 Kennedy brothers since JFK became president, when I was 15 years old and living in my native Denmark. At the beginning of the speech I thought it was JFK speaking, only to realize a bit later it was Ted Kennedy, he sounded much like his JFK. However, after awhile I recognized the text from the eulogy Ted gave for his brother Bobby. I agree great speech, all the Kennedy brother was eloquent speakers. All call for the best in others, all had a moral compass when it came to civil rights, the poor etc. (in private life, not so much, specially JFK and Ted). They are all missed, the all made the US better, and given more time both JFK and RFK would have a great impact on this country.

Which do you prefer, action that leads to the overthrow of oligarchy or wonderfully flowery speeches? I love the words that centrists say in public.

"Those that live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment in life, that they seek as we do, nothing but the chance to live their life in purpose and happiness." If you take all of humans throughout the ages and tore down their goal to it's most purest form then you'll see that this is the undeniable truth.

The Irish of that generation were not far from the potato famines...certainly within the memory of their grandparents. That devastation humbled most Irish and spurred the modern era diaspora of the Irish. For many that soul wound opened their hearts to wisdom and compassion. These are the Irish Americans who called on that ancestral pain to inspire justice and goodness; unlike the modern demagogues like Hannity and O'Reilly - Irish Americans of whom I am not proud.😐

A world in which choosing a side is seen as the only viable option people like the Kennedies are what we need. They were centrists who understood & respected the differences of people. Even create laws to protect that diversity. In the 21st century if u don't stand for something u are deemed to be weak & subsequently discarded. We need thses people now more than ever.

Doing what they can, keeping those unbeknownst to their conscious awareness of the warmth and refuge you give them. Keep that fire lit and protect it. Disburse it into the many souls on your path to ultimate unity with the planet. GOD BLESS

What this man said resinates to us all today . Things have got worse and we are not moving forward, yes we may have technology but look at the cost , we have become polarised and judgemental and deeply divided. We are all human beings but at war with ourselves, the greedy have become more greedy and the rest of us are suffering because of this , the whole system is being wrecked so the few can benefit. We live on a beautiful planet which is being damaged for the few , and there is nowhere else to go. And war along with poverty continues and you realise that we have learnt nothing . We need to all look at ourselves and make a stand and make our world a better place , we have great minds and compassion, we can live so much better but until we change the current system and do what we know to be right we and heading for a cliff edge . Mankind is at a crossroads, and as the years go by this great speech still holds its power and emotion…… What could have been is gone , what we can be is still in our grasp, the question is are we going grab that chance or watch our world crumble. Only we can make that positive change for all our common good …….
